Exodus 21:2-7

2If thou buyH7069 a HebrewH5680 bondman, sixH8337 yearsH8141 shall he serveH5647; and in the seventhH7637 he shall goH3318 out freeH2670 for nothingH2600.

3If he cameH935 in alone, he shall goH3318 out alone: if he had a wifeH802, then his wifeH802 shall goH3318 out with him.

4If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have borneH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323, the wifeH802 and her children shall beH1961 her master's, and he shall goH3318 out alone.

5But if the bondman shall sayH559 distinctly, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my children, I will not goH3318 freeH2670;

6then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him before the judges, and shall bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or to the door-post; and his masterH113 shall bore his earH241 through with an awlH4836; and he shall be his bondman for everH5769.

7And if a manH376 shall sellH4376 his daughterH1323 as a handmaid, she shall not goH3318 out as the bondmen goH3318 out.
